Not one to get very political but this must be shared



Amazing how this will NEVER make the evening news.....

I'm back!!!! And I hope to be a regular contributor again....

Hey folks long time no write!! I have been busy with life, riding, working, family, travel, and general malaise. Every time I have had time to sit down and make a post I just haven't felt it. I have about three or four half completed or just started blog entries. I have started a post race write up of both of my big 100 mile mountain bike races and have not finished them... One of the main reasons why is the fact that my IBM laptop took a crap and I have been relegated to using Christie's Dell on which I do not have any of my pictures or files... I hope to soon have my computer working again soon and I should get back on track with blogging. So much has happened this summer I just don't know where to begin! I completed for the first time a 100 mile mountain bike race in Aug at the Shenandoah Mountain 100 in the mountains of Virginia! Attempted the Cascade Cream Puff 100 in Oregon and got baked by the sun only completing 53 miles. Finished in the top 5 of my first Expert level mountain bike race both XC and Super D! My son turned ONE and started walking!! My daughter just started pre-school and swim lessons, you can see videos of both the kids in action at The Lockwoods blog. I traded in my Black Sheep hard tail frame bike for a Black Sheep full suspension frame and I love it!! I have been at REI for almost a year now! We went to visit Christie's folks in NC and show off the kids in August. Got to visit with my folks when they came up to Seattle to help our good friends Wendi and Sam Hawley put in a french drain around their house. Wendi gave birth to a beautiful baby boy Ezekiel almost 2 1/2 months early and both mom and baby are healthy and safe! We have been heavily involved in our new church, Center Point Christian Fellowship, and love it and the family it has to offer.

I hope to update again soon, sorry for the awful Monty Python video you all have been subjected to for so long....
